What is the best or hardest trick on a butterfly knife trick?I'll end with a couple of tricks I found especially hard; however, each tricks difficulty varies from person to person. Where it might take my friend a week to master a trick, I might do it in a day. The same applies vice-versa. Now that doesn't mean some tricks are harder then others, because if you can't do a simple rollover I can assure you, you won't master the spinal rollover in a day.
Now in my next post I will be going over a couple different tricks, explaining them then linking you to my or other peoples videos. So hopefully you can get a hold of them. It really is a lot of fun learning these, you won't be disappointed.
If you haven't mastered a couple tricks before, don't bother with these. At very minimal you should at least learn the basic rollover and double flip open/close before you try these. If you are like my you will probably just jump into advanced tricks right after you get down the rollover; which is the most fun way to do things if you ask me.
Here are a couple tricks I really enjoyed, but had a real hard time learning:
If you are looking for a butterfly knife, there are a couple sites I would recommend. My first recommendation, stay out of the cheap Chinese export sites. I've order 2 knives off cheap sites like these and both have broke in a number of weeks. Now if you're just looking to try it out, and plan on getting more later then this could be a decent start. However, my first one was only tightened in by a series of cheap screws which seemed to come out more often than they stayed in. If you want to get one locally, check your local pawn shop or gun/knife show. I live in Huntington Beach, and we have an annual local gun and knife show. I always check it out, if I see a nice butterfly knife I'll normally buy it. If you want a wider selection and sometimes higher quality I would try online. There are a couple different sites you could check out. I wouldn't specifically choose one over the other, its all a matter of personal preference. Websites you can buy butterfly knives (balisongs): http://www.bladeplay.com/ - I've ordered from bladeplay before, they are definitely legit. They offer a decent selection and have very high quality based on what I've received
http://www.ebay.com - Of course the scam factor kicks in here. I would agree there is a nice selection on here, perhaps larger than any online store at some points.
www.bladeops.com/Butterfly-Knives-s/56.htm - I've never actually personally ordered from bladeops, however I know someone who has. They seem to have a wide array of knives as well.
